VENDORS, please click on the NEW FUNCTIONS link in the Vendor Guide to see some recent additions in function. Buyers and Group Buy Teams have these same functions and should visit the New Functions link. 

The Group Buy System Training Guide provides a thorough explanation of the features and functions of this web-based system. This Guide is organized to get you to the information you need quickly based on who you are. But, read this page first.

Here is your roadmap to the Training Guide.

• If you are a Vendor, click the VENDOR GUIDE link in the left margin.
• If you are a Buyer, click on the BUYER GUIDE link in the left margin.
• If you are a Group Buy Team member, click on the GROUP BUY GUIDE link in the left margin.

The step-by-step processes for creating deal sheets, maintaining deal sheets and managing deal sheets are completely explained in the Vendor Guide.

Buyers or Group Buy Team members are directed to the Vendor Guide section for training on these processes because they are common to all three responsibilities. Features and functions unique to Buyers and Group Buy Team members are addressed in their respective Guides.
